Hundreds of pieces of fruit spilt from a lorry into oncoming cars.The rare Thai nipa palm fruit was harvested from a remote farm and was about to be taken to the market when the truck cargo bed snapped open in Chumphon province on June 28.Dashcam footage shows the brown crop - which has a very limited supply as it only grows in specific areas - rolling across the concrete road.The truck carrying them slowed down immediately, but the fruit was scattered on at least 50ft-long stretch of the road.Nipa palm or mangrove palm grows along coastlines. Its fruit is edible and yields a sugary sap used to make alcoholic beverages, syrup, sugar, and vinegar.
